[Verse 1]
Em7
There's peng black girls in my area code
F#m7 GM7
Dark skin, light skin, medium tone
Permed tings, braids, got mini afros
A9
Thick lips, got hips some of us don’t
Em7
Big nose contour, some of us won’t
F#m7 GM7
Never wanna put us in the media, bro
Want a fat booty like Kardashians? (No)
A9
Want a fat booty like my aunty got, yo (Ayy)
Em7
Wheel up the bloodclart, tell her reload it
F#m7 GM7
I've got the camera, my girls are posin'
I need some back up then my ones are rollin'
A9
Grown woman ting, so I'm never at risk
Em7
Mind my own business so I'm never in mess (Uh)
F#m7
Who am I? I ain't bait (Oh)
GM7
Get a slice of the cake
Want a house with a view and a new pair of shoes
A9
Keep it real from the jump
Gucci gang, Lil Pump
Em7
Little vibe, little bass, little kick, little snare
F#m7
Little lies, big truths
GM7
Do you, they don't care
Do you, they don't care
A9
Get your ass out the box and build up from there
Em7
I don't have a gang with me
F#m7 GM7
But I still walk with a gangster lean
And rock Nike's cause we think they're clean
A9
MJ, leather jacket, beat it, Billie Jean
Em7
MJ, leather jacket 'cause I think I'm bad
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7 GM7
That's cool, I like it
The growth, the light
A9
The pain, the fight
Em7
We love, we fight
F#m7 GM7
We hurt, we cry (No, no)
He paid the price
N.C.
You'll be alright
[Chorus]
Em7
I think I need some time away

N.C.
ENNY said there's peng black girls in our area codes
F#m7 GM7
These black girls need to be in the shows
Be on the runways, not just mood boards
A9
On top of that, we gotta see them in your team
Em7
Look at your crown, natural relaxed
F#m7 GM7
Had a Jheri curl one time, soft and sheen
Where black girl magic is sometimes blue
A9
Might have broke a hair band or two
Em7
Raise my voice, you gonna say that I'm angry
F#m7 GM7
Kiss my teeth and now you say that I'm hood
Kid at sixteen, you say it's my destiny
A9
Drive a Range, you think I'm up to no good
Em7
Give us a break and let us breathe, man
F#m7 GM7
Give us a chance, let us achieve, fam
And I know that my hair looks a bit different today
Em7
So don't touch my hair
[Verse 3]
Like, new hair, who this?
F#m7 GM7
Old black bomber jacket and the Bantu twists
Look, mind over matter, I can handle this
A9
We're fine, took a second, the rewards in risk
Em7
See, I think that I care too much
F#m7 GM7
Bottle of some Covousier, two cups
A9
I've got nothing to show but you love to check my flaws and all my trials
Em7
I was black back when it wasn't even in style
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7 GM7
That's cool, I like it
The growth, the light
A9
The pain, the fight
Em7
We love, we fight
F#m7 GM7
We hurt, we cry (No, no)
He paid the price

You'll be alright
